The primitive malignant cancer of the Fallopian tube is a rare entity. Breast metastasis of this cancer are also rare. This is the fifth reported case. 61-year-old woman was diagnosed, in 2007, with serous adenocarcinoma of the tube, stage IV of FIGO. She underwent 2 cycles of chemotherapy (Paclitaxel and Carboplatin) but remained with residual disease. In 2009, she appeared with a breast nodule, suggestive of metastasis of the primitive cancer. She was considered unable to undergo specific treatment (poor general condition and multiple metastasis). The literature review only allowed the identification of four similar cases, all with poor prognosis.
